How DTU Researcher Secured Funding Early In His Career

Technical University of Denmark

Arriving at DTU in December 2022 as a tenure-track assistant professor, Simone Latini does not have a ready-made recipe for winning major grants. What he does have is a research idea he believes in - and a head start on many others.

Simone Latini's project idea emerges while he is at the prestigious Max Planck Institute in Hamburg: Can you change the properties of materials by shaping the light around them?

At DTU, he seeks funding for this topic through a European doctoral network known as a Marie Skłodowska‑Curie Doctoral Network (MSCA‑DN). The programme fits the kind of research he wants to do; free and theory‑driven rather than narrowly thematic calls.
